Every child in their own time...
Some children are ready to move into an independent group earlier, while others benefit from additional time building confidence first. Our instructors carefully monitor every child's physical and emotional readiness — without comparing them to peers or pushing them to meet arbitrary milestones.
When a child has developed the cognitive, physical and motor skills needed to thrive independently, we invite them to continue in compatible small group kids swim classes without a parent in the water. This decision is always made in close consultation with you.
Some children and adults learn best in a group setting; for others, private sessions may be a better starting point to establish foundations before joining a group. If your child is finding group classes challenging or showing signs of unhappiness in the water, private swimming lessons can make a meaningful difference.
If you're searching for kids swimming lessons in Perth that prioritise your child's emotional readiness as much as their technique, Aquanat is the place for your family. Our kids swimming lessons are small, progressive, and tailored to each child — helping them become safe, confident, and joyful in the water. Get in touch today to find the right class for your child.
FAQs About Kids Swimming Lessons
Q: Why is Aquanat Swim School a recommended choice for kids swimming lessons in Perth? Aquanat offers a genuinely different experience — small groups of 3–6 children, a warm private pool, and a holistic approach that develops the whole child: physical skills, emotional confidence, and a lifelong love of water. Located in Alfred Cove, this kids swim school Perth serves families across the metropolitan.
Q: How does Aquanat Swim School support kids learning to swim? Children progress at their own pace through a skill-based program — they move forward when they're truly ready, not when a term ends. With only one class in the pool at a time and parents present for support, the environment is calm, focused and free from the noise and chaos common at larger swim schools.
Q: Why do parents choose Aquanat Swim School for kids swimming lessons in Perth? Parents consistently highlight the personalised attention, the gentle and patient instructors, and the remarkable progress their children make — even children who were previously fearful of the water. The small class sizes and peaceful pool setting give kids the space to build real confidence rather than just tick boxes.
Q: Do Aquanat kids swimming lessons help improve water safety and confidence? Yes — water safety is a core focus. Lessons are designed to develop the aquatic skills that help keep children safe around water, alongside breath control, body awareness, and the ability to move confidently and independently in the pool. Many parents have seen previously conservative children transform into kids who can't wait to jump in. Many children who started swim classes with Aquanat young and attended consistently have achieved aquatic independence even before the age of 3.
Q: What can parents expect from kids swimming lessons at Aquanat Swim School? Parents can expect qualified instruction, and a calm, unhurried experience where their child is seen as an individual.

"We absolutely LOVE our swimming lessons with Aquanat!! Anat’s lessons break away from the traditional swimming lessons and allow your kids to discover and enhance their skills while nurturing their love for water. She keeps her classes small to ensure each kid gets the attention they need. My son (3y/o) has been attending Anat’s classes for over 16 months and his progression has been amazing to watch. From a toddler who refused to have water poured over his head in the bath, to a boy who can’t wait to jump into the pool and swim through hoops under the water!! My daughter’s (22 months) swimming skills progressed rapidly over her first term with Anat’s guidance and now she is much more confident and happy in water. I have also gained so much from the classes, most importantly, how to take a step back and allow my children to safely discover and build skills independently. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aquanat swimming lessons!!!"
Harry
"Anat and her team are miracle workers. Before we started swimming lessons with Anat, and after trying two other swim schools, our 4 year old son was so scared of water he wouldn't go under the shower. Anat and her team have the experience and patience required in these situations, and over the course of the term, his confidence has been built up to the point where he talks about swimming lessons all week. I really don't know how they do it. All he wants to do now is go under water! I wish we had found Aquanat sooner!"
Courtney
"Anat and the team at Aquanat truly provide a superior experience in teaching and fostering a child’s introduction to water. Anat’s holistic approach to recognising each individual child’s strengths and challenges really sets her apart. She acknowledges boundaries and has an innate sense of how to connect with each individual child to bring out their best. My daughter first started swimming with Anat at 12 weeks old and is now nearly four. As a parent, I’ve learnt something new in every session, which is a testament to Anat’s teachings. We couldn’t imagine starting our swimming journey anywhere else!"
Ava
"I would like to highly recommend Aquanat for children’s swimming lessons. Our 3yr old daughter absolutely loves her swimming lessons with Anat and is progressing so quickly in developing her skills, confidence and most importantly respect for the water. Anat has a wonderful way with children - there are never any tears with her gentle approach and the peaceful and calm environment she creates in the beautiful rocky bay pool in Mosman Park 😊 Looking forward to starting lessons with our 2 month old Son soon!"
Serena
"My husband and I are very impressed of the quality of the swimming lessons. Our bub is 5 months old and he is been going to Aquanat since he was 10 weeks or so..he loves it! The instructors are very experienced, very warming and calming, you won't certainly feel left alone in this environment. The space is cosy, private and small enough to feel unique and precious. There is plenty of room to change bub and parents with a unisex changing room and female changing room, there are showers and the place is so neat and tidy! Babies are carefully followed since their first touch of the water, it is so nice to see it. We feel very relaxed when come to aquanat. 10 out of 10, very good job guys!"
Darcy
"Our 10 month old has attended 3 terms with Anat and there will be more in the future. Swimming with an infant is as much about training the adult as it is about training the baby. Anat and her team safely guide you through this process, challenging you both to succeed and build confidence."
Julia
"My baby had his first contact with Aquanat when he was 3 months old, I think these classes were essential for me because the instructor guided me to trust myself and how to handle my baby in the water. The classes are organic, they adapt to the group and are dedicated to each baby at the time, which is why the groups are small. We had to stop going to the classes because we moved to another city and I had to try another academy thinking that it would do just as good for me, but the technique did not suit me and my baby. I felt very frustrated because my baby enjoyed being in the water, so I decided to call Aquanat to tell them about my situation with the other academy, they gave me some tips to continue enjoying being in the water with my baby. We had the opportunity to go to Perth for a few days and we booked private classes with Anat and we felt it was worth it, my baby was submerged in the water all the time, they taught us how to capture his attention through play, we felt that the Classes are very natural where the baby enjoys being in the pool but at the same time learns to swim. Thanks you for everything! We will definitely have more classes with you again."
Annie
"Sofi had her very first swimming class at Aquanat and it was full of fun. All the babies are all the same age group and get to learn how to swim with parents' participation. First class we established confidence both within baby and parents. It was such a great interactive class and we definitively come back for more!!"
Sophie
"I highly recommend Anat and the Aquanat team. My son was 14 weeks old when we started. Having been born 5 weeks premature and highly sensitive to light and sound I was initially concerned the pool environment would be too much for him but I needn't have been concerned. Anat's unique, kind, caring and gentle approach and small intimate classes were perfect for putting both of us at ease. 10 months on and my son absolutely loves the water. It has been a true delight to watch him grow and develop under the supportive guidance of Anat and her team."
Anneke
"My children started swimming lessons at Aquanat a few months ago and their swimming has gone from strength to strength in this time. Their confidence, skill level and ability to adopt different techniques have all improved hugely thanks to the dedication and commitment from the Aquanat teachers. Their fun approach to learning has worked wonders too! I would highly recommend Aquanat to anyone looking for private or group swimming lessons in a lovely environment."
Alisa
"My children learnt from Anat as babies. She knew their "being" in an instant in the water. Now 7 and 10 the boys are excellent swimmers although they have not had many lessons. One in particular looks like an Olympian in the making - all down to Anats natural way of teaching I'm sure! I miss seeing Anat too! Thanks forever Anat, we will never forget you when we "fly" in the water."
Teresa
"Anat and the team at Aquanat are fabulous! I am taking adult swimming lessons and highly recommend them. If you want to learn to swim or improve your technique in a calm and supportive environment from a team of professionals at a fabulous pool just give Anat a call. I am very happy with the results."
Deborah
"We're incredibly grateful for Remy's 4.5-year journey with Aquanat, starting at just 6 months old. Your program has instilled a love for water and impressive swimming skills in him. The dedicated instructors have been instrumental in Remy's growth from infant classes to his current abilities at 5 years old. As we transition to a larger pool for Remy's evolving needs, we want to thank you for the solid foundation you've provided. Aquanat has been the perfect introduction to swimming, and we'll always cherish his time here. Thank you for introducing young children like Remy to the joys of swimming. We highly recommend Aquanat for early swimming education!"
Skye
"Aquanat is a fantastic swimming school. I enrolled my daughter when she was very young to build her water skills as early as possible, and If we weren't moving we would continue until she aged out of the classes! Amazing team - swimming teachers and admin staff, always very responsive and accommodating."
Ann-Sofie
"It’s been wonderful to watch my daughter’s ( aged 3) confidence, skill and enjoyment in the water grow at Aquanat. She started off quite anxious in the water but after some one on one lessons she has improved so much. The environment at Aquanat is calm and quiet with only one class on at a time and the class sizes are small. I would thoroughly recommend Aquanat to any family wanting their child to not only learn how to swim but to have fun doing it !"
Shlomit
"After going through few regular generic swimming schools, I felt My son was getting no where. He loves the water and thats why I kept going but he wasn't improving and he also got bored. Until I met Anat and I was blown away. Not only an amazing pool (34 degrees), but her skills and experience as a swimming teacher, like no other. Personal attention, attentive to what my son needs but also giving him space to explore and try out, small intimate group, quiet private pool. In just few lessons, my son was so free in the water, very confident, diving freely and exploring safely the water and keeps progressing more and more each time. I cant express enough my gratitude and I am so lucky to have found her!"
